Hippocampal tail volume (corrected for total hippocampal volume)

near RPL21P24 · rs6675690

What the study found

Who was studied 21,297 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 7.31 mm3 higher; p = 8 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p33 — between genes, 18.2 kb from RPL21P24.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Hippocampal tail volume (corrected for total hippocampal volume). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hippocampal tail volume (corrected for total hippocampal volume). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Hippocampal tail volume (corrected for total hippocampal volume). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6675690

What is rs6675690?

rs6675690 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL21P24 gene. Published research associates it with hippocampal tail volume (corrected for total hippocampal volume). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6675690 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs6675690 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular psychiatry 2020, PMID:30279459. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
